How can a NAW Licensed Author share a workbook?

Question

According to Administering Oracle NetSuite Analytics Warehouse, System Roles, a NAW Licensed Author, "Can share decks and cards." However, I cannot create a shared folder, the option is not available. I also cannot move it to a shared folder because OK is disabled. Is this an environment issue or is it by design?

Hi @User_F2RD3,

Manuel here from NSAW support team.

This behavior is by design, not an environment issue.

While the NAW Licensed Author role allows users to create and share decks/cards, it does not include catalog administration privileges. Specifically, it does not grant the ability to:

* Create folders under /Shared Folders/
* Move content into Shared Folders (without write access)
* Manage folder-level permissions

The reason you’re seeing:

* No option to create a shared folder
* “OK” button disabled when moving content

is because your role likely does not have write access to Shared Folders, or you don’t have an elevated role such as BI Service Administrator.

To proceed, one of the following is required:

* Grant write access to a specific Shared Folder location
* Or assign a role with broader catalog permissions
